Bush Pies!

We went camping for a week at the end of July with my mom and her 5th wheel at Greenwater Lake.  It was a bit of an adjustment for Gray and he let us know how much he didn't want to sleep in the back bunk!  With that being said, he had a great time with Grandma and I think Grandma had a great time with Gray too!!  Mike and I would head for a walk or jog atleast once a day and I definitely miss that since we've been back to the city.  However, walking there was MANDATORY to try and burn off some calories that were consumed.  We had our annual loaded fries from the Beach Cafe and they were delicious!! But we only have them once a  year for a reason!  (okay I admit, we had them twice this year but we did do a lot of walking to make up for it!

Bush Pies was the theme of camping this year!  We had breakfast bush pies, dinner bush pies, and dessert bush pies!!!  I have pictures below of most of our creations.  The only thing I'm missing was the grilled cheese and bacon sandwich.  It looked similar to the one picture below, minus the egg.

Breakfast Bush Pie: 1 egg, crumbled bacon, Tex Mex Cheese Shreds, Salt and Pepper

Half Eaten Breakfast Bush Pie

White Enchilada's turned Bush Pie!!  We used our leftover chicken mixture from White Enchilada's and put it in a Kaiser Bun and used our round Bush Pie Maker for some fabulous results!

Mike says the White Enchilada Bush Pies were his all time favorite!

Yum! Dessert Bush Pies- Mom had sampled this recipe at a friends campsite and couldn't wait to share it with us!  Nutella, cherry pie filling, and marshmallows made this ooey gooey delicious!  Bush Pie Tip: Make sure your bread is facing the opposite direction for proper bush pie sealage!

I could've left this on for another minute to melt the marshmallows just a touch more .

Dessert Bush Pie #2!!  This was Mike's creation - he took a twist (doughnut), cut it in half, filled it with marshmallow and nutella, and toasted it.  Was yummy but the sugar glaze on the outside of the twist was super sticky and didn't toast up very good.  (cherry pie filling noted in picture was just from the knife used to cut it)

Oh bush pies, how I love you!
